TrueFortune Cookies Created to Bring a Smile in a World of Chaos and Negativity

Westlake Village, CA, October 31, 2014 (Newswire.com) - In a time and age when negativity abounds in the current environment – wars, major health scares, poor economy, discord among nations, political bickering, ineffectual government and increasing violence and even atrocities – the question becomes what can be done to elicit a smile or bring peace and happiness into people’s daily lives. 

This was a question which David Lee recently asked himself.  Lee has had a diverse career spanning over six decades in a variety of fields, which included being a rocket scientist, mechanical engineer, designer, government consultant, psychologist, marriage and family therapist, hypnotherapist and marketing executive.  He is also an inventor and holds over 10 patents. 

Early this year, Lee said he was determined to create something to counter the “gloom and doom” that permeates the news each day.  For someone who had supervised the mechanical design for the rocket engine that landed the first astronauts on the moon, designed the explosive release mechanism for satellites, designed a system to eliminate the sway from vibrations that enabled London’s Millennium Bridge to be used and invented the talking mechanism for Mattel’s  “ Chatty Cathy” doll – Lee was confident he was “up to the task.”

According to Lee, his solution for injecting “a ray of sunshine into an atmosphere of dark clouds” is TrueFortune Cookies, on online service which he has launched which dispenses uplifting and sometimes irreverent messages to people each day through e-mails.  Those who wish to receive the messages, free of charge, must subscribe through the service’s website, www.truefortunes.com Messages to date have included:

*     "Did you know that you are absolutely unbeatable?  Success is on its way.  Please incorporate so I can buy stock in you."

•  "Make people feel good in your presence and the world is yours." 

•   "The question is: what happens once you become perfect?  Or has that already happened?"

• *   "Offensive people expect to offend.  They feed on negativity.  It’s their birthright.  Deprive them of their expected hostile response and they go quite mad."

• *   "Retro is in.  Imagine a world without computers, Internet, or nuclear weapons. No wonder we reminisce."

• *   "How many times in your life has fear, stubbornness, hostility or any of the unproductive emotions or circumstances held you back?  The next time an opportunity comes your way, grab it and run."

• ·     "Your great charm will bring you happiness and success at almost every level.  Don’t worry about the small minority of ignorant gnats who fail to acknowledge your winning ways.  Ignore them." 

     Noting that his concept for the TrueFortune Cookies derived from the traditional fortune cookie - “without the rosy forecasts” - Lee remarked:

     “Every person has a God-given right to happiness.  Yet many people aren’t happy.  Today, people have to consciously work at it.  Hopefully our daily messages will bring joy, peace of mind and happiness to people to help them cope with a world full of challenges.  Ultimately, we want to bring a smile to their face every day to enable them to move forward with a positive frame of mind.”
